I assume that, based on my cat's current whining, they lack the cause/effect reasoning that might help her understand she wouldn't be so hungry now if she had simply eaten slower this morning and not expelled her entire breakfast on my carpet.

Update: The US Auto industry has retreated from EVs. That strategy will relegate them to the domestic market only or to extinction. The world is shifting to EVs. Global sales of fully internal combustion engine vehicles peaked in 2017. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 Paywalled link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

Report: the morale of federal employees is terrible. That is not good if you want quality weather information Another week, more record heat

A new report shows that the morale of federal employees is at an all-time low. While not surprising, as someone who was a federal supervisor for 20+ years it scares me - and it should scare you if you rely on things like air traffic control and of course accurate weather info. tinyurl.com/j9p3x752

I've interviewed more than a dozen hydrologists and climatologists across the West the past 10 days.

A sense of panic is starting to set in. Wildfires and water shortages will start mounting this summer. Adverse impacts are expected from not only this heat wave, but the historically warm winter.

Our EV has a dent on the back bumper because one of the daycare moms backed her tank into us. She couldn't see our car behind her and just ran right into it. "Sorry it was beeping at me and I didn't know what it meant." 🙄

One was a wheat farmer and cattle rancher who served in Korea but never talked about it. The other worked a lot of odd blue collar jobs over the decades but always would rather be fishing.

Minnesota has a Medicaid fraud rate that is almost 1/3 the national average. A federal court should throw out this decision in 30 minutes

I've now been living in Minnesota long enough to see this picture and notice the amazing snow shoveling job on the driveway first before seeing the pile of snow.

I only saw your comment and the quote tweet, so I thought this was about the SB ad where Alexa tried to kill them. Too many to choose from.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

My aunt and uncle went without power for 2.5 months after Maria. My grandfather who lives in San Juan went even longer. The power lines were the most impactful image of many tonight.
